Analysis: Fox News may be driving skepticism about the Mueller investigation

Television personality Sean Hannity, right, speaks as President Trump listens during a November rally in Cape Girardeau, Mo. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow March 18 at 3:32 PM President Trump often tries to move the American public through the sheer force of reiteration. At generous moments, it’s described as his genius at branding.

Suffolk University’s poll includes a question asking people what news or opinion source they trust the most. Fox News is consistently the network that gets the most support in that regard because it’s consistently the network cited by at least half of Republicans. More than half of Democratic responses are divvied up between the broadcast networks and MSNBC, with a quarter of respondents pointing to CNN.

Bringing us back to that Suffolk poll. The pollsters asked respondents whether they thought Mueller’s probe would be fair and accurate. More than half said they had at least some trust that it would be — but more than half of Republicans said they had little or no trust it would be. Nearly two-thirds of those who said they most trusted Fox News held the same position.

YA THINK?

Washington Post Headline: Water is wet and ice is cold.

Headline...offered by Capt Obvious

Of course they are. It’s the dictator’s network exclusively.

They are not reporting the news they simply report propaganda

MAY BE?

Really? Is that what you think? Wow! So insightful.

No shit.

wow.... welcome to conversation....

Ya think

Gee, ya think?

Stupid people are the root cause

The truth & an intellectually underrated electorate, of whom are PISSED OFF AT YOU, did that part well enough alone! I support Trump openly because I AWOKE to the propagandist nature of media coverage concerning the Kavanaugh appointment & the midterm elections! Good job BTW!

Lol. The usual suspects need to be propped up. Why would anyone br skeptical of a report about nothing designed to hide a coup? Morons.

No, the facts are driving the skepticism.

May? Smart reporting there Post. 🤦‍♀️

Fake news!

WP can we believe anything you say? At least Fox doesn’t have a big lawsuit for lying.

Propaganda Network

Mueller is investigating nothing,its all a hoax & all Americans are waking up to it. Obama,Clinton built a really corrupt & dirty Administration.The most corrupt DOJ&FBI in the history of America. They murdered all ST6 members, tried to kill all Americans in Bengahzi, built isis.

Opening with a pair of pigs

You think?

Stop watching Fox. It will only ever cloud the brain and make it less prone to seeing reality.

Ya think... Fox News is fake news and everyone knows it... even the people who listen ..

The entire thinking world has skepticism about the Mueller scam

Analysis..The Washington Post might be driving the Mueller investigation.

May be? SMH

“May” be

Really this is news. Fox twists turns and says outright lies daily all while smiling. They are complicit in the decay of what’s broadcasted daily. There will be atonement with any luck sell the cash cow and get real owners that broadcast truth rather than fiction.

No shit! Really? You’re just now getting it? What rock have you been hiding under?

You don’t say?

Just as the MSM makes claims without evidence of what Mueller has been investigating and what's in the Mueller report for over 2 years

“May Be” Pretty certain they are.

Of course they are being Donald Trump's personal Politburo

To weaken a structure, one just has to create a dent, or a crack in it; to weaken a truth, one just has to create doubt; even if it's made with a lie.

How many things have come through new York's point of entry now Hmm southern border don't seem to have this much action at all. Wonder if the distraction pointing south, has been a cover for the Norths entry...

How could anyone with a lick of sense not be skeptical .....coming anyday right?

May? is

No, the investigation itself is driving skepticism. Fox is just the only network reporting the actual facts.

“May be”? Have you missed JaneMayerNYer ‘s reporting?

BSmithTweet Is driving unfounded skepticism with outlandish Propoganda.

Everyone has skepticism. A lot f tax payers money wasted and they come up with zero. None of the Democratic candidates are even talking about it. That’s how meaningless it’s become.

Only if you watch it

Not just fox news stop the slander. WE THE PEOPLE ARE SICK OF IT

The Russian Troll network at it again...lol

Maybe?

may be?

Sweet baby Jesus! Is today your first day here? 'May?' Throw this headline away.

Trump did not have the intelligence to pull this off. The Racism and bigotry are pluses that came along with the shell that is TRUMP. It's hard to tell where TRUMP leaves off and Fox takes over and vice a versa. In any case they are both bad

Fox is the driving force behind Donald Trump. What they are is the man behind the man. They didn't have the courage to run so they have a puppet to manipulate. The only thing Trump does with regularity is LIE and he LIES ALL THE TIME.

'May' be?

Muller investigation was a hoax from the very beginning. Fake news

Rightfully so. You should try watching.

It 'may'?

No shit, Sherlock.

Of course, they have to protect their lying, bigot trump...

Scepticism!!!! Oh, no! We can't have that. We all must believe, or this probe thing won't work.

You think? Brilliant!

Maybe it's just that the whole thing was a political hit job and attempted leftist coup? The Media That Cried Wolf Has No Credibility.

“May be”?

nice

No shit.

What Mueller report?

Ya think

The thing really driving the ‘skepticism’ is the lack of evidence to any Russky collusion. However, there IS plenty of evidence of collusion between democrats and the manufactured dossier paid for by Hillary and her cronies. Report that or STFU!

“May be”? U stoopid.?

May be?

No. They are left leaning pricks not much better than you.

So has nothing to do with the investigation being based on a hoax🤔🤦‍♂️😂😂

There should be no doubt.

“May be” Ha!

MAY be?!?!?! That’s like saying Trump might have masturbated to his daughter...

May be?

lol may be

RT On The Hudson may be doing Putin's work? You don't say. WelcomeToTheObvious

No really. It’s sad we have to point this out for the indoctrinated

You think? My 12 year old came to that conclusion a month ago.

May be...lol

Ya think? 🙄

Of course they are.

Duh. You think so?

Duh.

Who else would it be

Wonder if Fox wants to be on the hook of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and being accessory after the fact if any of its anchors have communicated with Trump and other individuals on matters related to the investigations?

Do you think?

May be?

When the Mueller investigation finds no collusion. CNN and others will be left with their lawsuits. This is nothing more than a conspiracy theory.

Have you read Ohr, Paige and Strozk testimonies?

Proof is in the pudding. No outside help is needed for that.

MAY be?

They are and should be

May?

Or. The lack of evidence is driving the skepticism. lol

The dossier was only part of the reason for the investigation. If anyone cares to take the time to know the truth check out the timeline!

Jealous

Or maybe people know the fbi is crooked

Duh. Fox News, the pro-Russia 24/7 fact-free Republican propaganda outlet.

No shit.

Fox News has been the cause of ignorance in this country for a long time. We need the fairness doctrine back again.

Or maybe it could be the truth driving that skepticism.

No, I think it’s the complete lack of corroborating evidence that’s driving the skepticism. Nice try, though,

Really? By golly, I think you have something.

FAKENEWS

Ya think?

Weird how facts drive skepticism of a hoax.

Ya think!?!

Nah, that skepticism drives itself. Can’t wait for the big FISA declass weekend!!! 🎊 party 🎈 party 🎉

Come on WaPo. Do better. What's next....? Breaking news .... the sky is BLUE.

You all think?

May? How about IS.

wow what genius came up with this hot take 🙄

May?

Uh duh

Actually, the driver is the president. Fox is merely the Limo.

WP and CNN help Trump spread his hateful message to millions who do not watch Fox News. Breathlessly covering every tweet and tantrum until they distracted 24 hours later by the next terrible thing he says. Meanwhile, republicans keep working to create a one party dictatorship.

Duh! You think?

Duh

Fox skeptic ! wp liberal rag. Who to believe? Hmmmmm! Join us TRUMP 2020 AND BEYOND FOR A GREATER AMERICA

Of course they are.

How abt known facts such as the DNC was not hacked by Russia. Russia was not involved in any way w/ Wikileaks publication of DNC & JP email. If these simple facts attested to by Julian Assange and Kim Dotcom, reliable sources. When you start w/ a falsehood, repeat again, false.

Ya think?

You think?

The WP and every other lemming news agency will castigate Mr Mueller if he doesn’t find anything on the President.

I hope someone reads this garbage...I can’t

Ya think?

Do you listen?!? Absolutely driving the propaganda.

May be?

May be? You act like there’s a debate..you worse than Fox

Duh

Really?!?!

Lolololololollolololol

Ya' think ?

magacult

A blinding flash of the obvious!

Nobody cares about Fox News except MAGAts

Just noticing?

HA‼️ Attacking FoxNews is not going to work Lame Post! 😆

Duuuhh!!!

No, mueller is

😳 what gave you that clue?

In other outstanding journalism, WaPo reports the sun will rise tomorrow morning.

Conduct of the FBI and DOJ drove my skepticism. But true, Fox the only outlet that actually has reported on the apparent abuses at DOJ. Other outlets keeping that on the down low.

This took analysis?

Gee, do you think?

What do you think CNN & MSNBC have been doing?

Are there any narratives that CNN is driving or do we not have any intellectual curiosity about that?

Do ya think? Propaganda works when your too lazy to find the truth.

No 💩 Sherlock.

The only thing faux news is driving is white nationalism

Driving truth.

Thank you Captain Obvious ...

As long as Fox is treated as 'news' our republic is not safe

Ya think?

Yes. Because It's a bullshit investigation. Anymore questions?

I agree with kay

Maybe a lack of anything concrete is driving seceptism on the Mueller investigation. Yeah his underlings have been snared on some stuff , but no hard connection to the Orange T.

Fun to watch you squirm as your reporting of the last two year is about to be proved to be a fake news hoax. Russia Russia Russia!!!

Ya think?

True and WaPo is building conspiracy theories. Whats new. biasedmedia

Interesting stats on coverage by network. Agenda on both sides

kechjo ...may be...?

theres a hot take

Shocking!

You misspelled “is”.

I guess it's the same research institute

I noticed this too!!

Nope, it really is a huge fail, time to face the news that you wasted two years and millions of dollars just to harass Trump which was always the goal.

May be?!?!?

Ya don’t say...ya think? 🙄

This isn't exactly breaking news...

Ya think?!

May? FFS......

What the nation needs is a true American patriot to just give the full un-redacted Mueller report straight to the major newspapers. The idea that the criminal will get it and squash it claiming executive privilege is a fascist idea.

FakeNews TheDemocrats and their purchase of the phony Russian dossier is a driving force!

Well that's one thing they're doing right.

DOJ has done a great job of that all on their own

“May be”?!?!?

GEE, YA THINK?

TRUMP IS GUILTY, RUNNING SCARED AND HAVING A PSYCHOTIC BREAK.

Lol

Duh.

Who believes ANYTHING from Fox News?

Ya' think?

DUH!!!

Isn’t that The only message Fox News has?

Why be afraid to flat out say hat FoxNews is causing their viewers to not trust the Mueller Report and to believe the most lying, Corrupt POTUS in the 52 years I've been on this Earth.

FoxStateTV

Really? Not the fact that it’s got nothing on him in 2 years?

No doubt.

..and the Post pushes the Russia narrative. What’s your point? That someone has a different opinion?

May be?

🦊📰 may🐝 🚘ing skepticism? hannity one? hannity one? hannity lecter

Ya think? 'may be' C'mon.

“May”?! Fox News has been the biggest source of division in our country for years. The pain has always been there- they just exploited it for profit.

If it's fringe-right, nut-job, conspiracy theory, or just trump worshiping blather, you can positively state that Fuax News *IS* driving it. If it was a truck, a drooling, drugged-up Ted Nugent would be at the wheel.

May be? They are.

Gosh, and they're so even-handed, too. I'd never have thunk it 😵

wait no how could this be

Oh? It 'may'? Have you seen Right Wing media outlets or listened to conservative talk radio? It's talking point after talking point, 24/7, daily. All to supportRealdonaldTrump.

MAY be?

Noooooo you don't say..

This just in: no doy

May be? Are you kidding with that headline?

Holy shit, next you'll be telling me that ducks are often wet!

Fox News is FAKE NEWS!

Thanks, Captain Obvious . . .

“May be”

You think?

May? MAY be driving?!

May be?
